Why restaurants switch

Transform your menu into a marketing tool.

Your menu is your strongest marketing asset. More guests discover you on Google, trust you at first glance, follow you on social — and keep coming back long after the meal.

Turn every visit into a follow

Foodist puts your Instagram, TikTok, and socials front and centre on your menu. Guests follow you while they wait — and come back every time you post a special.

AI · Menu scan

Snap a photo of your paper menu. AI does the rest.

Point your phone at your existing carte — printed, handwritten, a PDF, a chalkboard. Foodist's AI reads every dish, every price, every category and builds your digital menu in under a minute. No retyping, no formatting.

  • 01 Any format, any language. Printed, handwritten, PDF, Word — if your guests can read it, our AI can too. French, English, Italian, Spanish, more.
  • 02 Categories detected automatically. Entrées, plats, desserts, drinks — the AI structures everything the way your guests expect.
  • 03 Review & publish in a tap. We show you the extracted menu; you fix anything you want, then push it live.

Be found, be picked

Own your spot on Google Maps & Business.

Questions

Asked before the first order.

Do I need a website already? +
No. Foodist gives you a clean, mobile-first public page at yourplace.com/menu (or a free subdomain). You can plug your own domain later if you want.
Can I change currency? +
Yes — $, €, £, ¥, CHF, and more. Set it once; every price updates everywhere.
How does the Google Maps connection work? +
We verify your Google Business listing, then publish your Foodist menu URL as the "View menu" action. You stay in control of both.
Can I run a weekly lunch and a weekend card at the same time? +
Yes — run as many menus as you like. Each has its own online/offline toggle, so what's live today is exactly what your guests see.
Is there really a free plan? +
Yes. One menu, forever, no card needed. Upgrade the day it starts paying for itself.
